Abstract: Introduction The goal of the Alewife experiment is to demonstrate that a parallel computer system can be made both scalable and easily programmable. Scalability will be achieved through an architecture that allows the exploitation of locality. That is, for programs that display communication locality, scalable machines can offer proportionally better performance with more processing nodes. A program running on a parallel machine displays communication locality if the probability of... (Update)

...to run on processors near to where they were created. An implementation of XTM has been written for the MIT Alewife Multiprocessor [1, 2]. Alewife provides both an efficient implementation of the shared memory abstraction and efficient interprocessor messages. XTM employs...
...If this is the case, then a scalable system somehow must counteract the effects of interprocessor communication latency. As described in [3], the Alewife architecture accomplishes the goal of scalability by exploiting communication locality: A program running on a parallel...
